In order to clear the title to the real property owned by the mortgagor, the Satisfaction of Mortgage document must be recorded with the County Recorder or Recorder of Deeds. If the mortgagee fails to record a satisfaction within the set time limits, the mortgagee may be responsible for damages set out by statute.
Step 1 Identify the parties. The appropriate parties should be documented on the Satisfaction of Mortgage. Step 2 Fill and Sign. The Satisfaction of Mortgage should be signed by the mortgagee, after it has been issued. Step 3 File and Record the Form.
If a lender takes longer than 90 days to record it, they can be charged up to $1,500 in penalties. So, in theory, a satisfaction should be recorded within 30-90 days of payoff regardless of what state you work in.
What is Satisfaction of Mortgage? A Satisfaction of Mortgage, also known as a Mortgage Lien Release, is a legal document provided by the mortgagee (financial institution) advising that the mortgage has been paid in full, all terms of the loan have been satisfied and there will no longer be a lien on the property.

In some cases, a mortgage may have been sold by the mortgage lender to another financial institution. If sold, the owner of the mortgage at the time of the final payment is responsible for completing the satisfaction of mortgage documentation.
Register the discharge of mortgage Once you return the Discharge Authority form, your bank would prepare a Discharge of Mortgage document. This document must be registered at the Land Titles office.

Law summary
Satisfaction, Release or Cancellation of Mortgage by Individual
Assignments Generally: Lenders, or holders of mortgages or deeds of trust, often assign mortgages or deeds of trust to other lenders, or third parties. When this is done the assignee (person who received the assignment) steps into the place of the original lender or assignor. To effectuate an assignment, the general rules is that the assignment must be in proper written format and recorded to provide notice of the assignment.
Satisfactions Generally: Once a mortgage or deed of trust is paid, the holder of the mortgage is required to satisfy the mortgage or deed of trust of record to show that the mortgage or deed of trust is no longer a lien on the property. The general rule is that the satisfaction must be in proper written format and recorded to provide notice of the satisfaction. If the lender fails to record a satisfaction within set time limits, the lender may be responsible for damages set by statute for failure to timely cancel the lien. Depending on your state, a satisfaction may be called a Satisfaction, Cancellation, or Reconveyance. Some states still recognize marginal satisfaction but this is slowly being phased out. A marginal satisfaction is where the holder of the mortgage physically goes to the recording office and enters a satisfaction on the face of the the recorded mortgage, which is attested by the clerk.
Arkansas Law
Assignment: An assignment must be in writing and recorded.
Demand to Satisfy: Upon full satisfaction, at the request of the person making satisfaction, the mortgagee shall acknowledge satisfaction thereof on the margin of the record in which the mortgage is recorded.
Recording Satisfaction: If any mortgagee shall receive full satisfaction for the amount due on any mortgage, then, at the request of the person making satisfaction, the mortgagee shall acknowledge satisfaction thereof on the margin of the record in which the mortgage is recorded.
Marginal Satisfaction: The clerks in counties which use other than paper recording systems shall not allow satisfactions by marginal notations after December 31, 1995. Satisfactions by marginal notations made in counties which use other than paper recording systems after December 31, 1995, are void.
Penalty: If any person receiving satisfaction does not, within sixty (60) days after being requested, acknowledge satisfaction, he shall forfeit to the party aggrieved any sum not exceeding the amount of the mortgage money, to be recovered by a civil action.
Acknowledgment: An assignment or satisfaction must contain a proper Arkansas acknowledgment, or other acknowledgment approved by Statute.
